You want facts? Here are the facts. Yes Mr. Hunter was on the City Council and Planning and Zoning for those years, but did he SERVE? I believe not. He barely showed up for the meetings. Many meetings had to be cancelled because he did not show up. Did he get things done? NO! I asked him to see about things and he said, "I'll see to it tomorrow". Well tomorrow is right, because tomorrow is always a day away. I've heard about Mr. Hires' work and he's done plenty. He has seen to ditches getting cut for drainage and many other things. He attends all the meetings. He not only listens to people he takes ACTION. HIRES IS OUR CHOICE FOR CITY COUNCIL

First of all one missing member of P&Z or
city council doesn't stop the show. Secondly, take a look at the council minutes for 2006 and 2007. Hires was not present for the following meetings: 1/17/06, Special Meeting of 4/18/06, Regular meetings of 11/21/06, 1/9/07 and 2/6/07. The minutes on line end on 9/4/07. Cleaning out a few ditches in this city, with the drainage problems we have is like applying a band aid to a severed arm.

OH and another thing...I did the math...it's only 4 years experience. Only 4 in city council, and whatever in planning in zoning. That doesn't come to 8. If 4 years in planning in zoning, that means 4 in both. You can't add apples and oranges, you only get "fruit". Oh wait...is Van Hunter a "fruit"? I guess what you are trying to say is that he has experience in this business. So I guess you are saying that HE is the reason we are in this mess of extra houses? Richmond Place? Main Street? Oh, yes! Thanks much for straightening that out for us!

I believe just the ditches isn't the only thing Mr. Hires has done. Mr. Hires took a stand against the developers with Sterling Creek. If you look at the city council meetings, you can find that Van Hunter missed more than that for P & Z and City Council, plus I, too have friends that have told me that whenever requested of Mr. Hunter to look into things, he would never get back with them. Mr. Hires has the time for the people and will get back immediately with them. I like that in a person. If you are going to represent me, be approachable and be a working person for the people....and as for the ditches...that's more than a band aid in Richmond Hill, that's a cast on a broken leg.
